Creating an Archive of Video Game HistoryToday most people's
hunt for information begins and ends with a Google search. I want to
create a video game museum that caters to this new information reality
by making an online collection that can be freely visited by anyone, at
any time, through a simple internet search.The Vanamo Online Game
Museum is an effort to create an archive of video game history with
high-quality, high-resolution pictures with detailed descriptions. The
museum's photos will be free for anyone to use in other media, like
articles and videos. They will also be placed on Wikipedia, making them
highly visible and readily available, along with vastly improving the
quality of their associated articles.

The goal of this Kickstarter
is to improve the quality of images and information about video game
systems one finds on the internet. The funds will go toward building a
physical archive and collection of hardware that, in turn, becomes an
online gallery of high quality pictures - a virtual museum.

This
Kickstarter greatly expands and completes work that I have already
begun, which can be seen on my Video Game Wikimedia page. I'm turning
to your for help in expanding the reach and depth of my work, because I
believe others can benefit from this work, and share my appreciation for
a virtual video game collection of this quality and care.
